10:36

"Carrie, wake up!"

"What?"

I open my eyes, she opens the windows and my room instantly becomes bright. But not that bright, i could hear the rain pouring lightly on my window. I scratch my eyes, trying to awake in this mysterious world. With a blur vision I look to see what the time is. 10:36 a.m Saturday.

"Ugh, it's too early." I wrap myself with my navy blue blanket.

"Carrie, wake up! Wake up!"

I didn't hear anything after that. I finally got some peace and silence. Yesterday I told Miranda from Burgers' Bunch I won't be working since my back had some serious trouble with standing for too long. It hurts so much I don't want to get out of bed. Today, is the day I will rest. Today is the day I will. . .

"Carrie, Carrie, Carrie, Carrie, Carrie..."

"What is it?" I sit and look up. There Dan and my sister stands. Waiting for me. Embarrassed, I instantly stand up. Why does he always catch me off guard. Always!

"Oh, hi." I say feeling my hair, which felt like they haven't been washed for a whole year.

"Morning."

I look down and see myself wearing pink cow pajamas. Pink cow pajamas that Becca got me for Christmas last year, I wore it because I didn't want to hurt her feelings and I like it, somehow. I look over at Becca and she's holding her laugh.

"I'll be down one second." I tell them. Making sure they understand.

"Well, your sister is sleeping beauty." Dan tells Becca.

"Ha ha." I say sarcastically.

I walk to my bathroom and start to shower quickly. Few minutes and i wear my long sleeved black shirt and sweat pants. I brush me hair thoroughly and twist them in a bun. I walk downstairs and smell something fresh and sweet, like berries and chocolate. I walk towards that smell. Walking to the kitchen i see newly baked, out of the oven and made to perfection muffins.

"That is.."

"Muffins!" Becca shouts.

"Wow, these look amazing. Are you sure you only took classes? Because you could open up a bakery and people would die to taste these. Or you could even sign up for Master Chef, who knows?"

I hear him laugh. That laugh that i haven't heard in a long time. That laugh that makes you want to know what this persons laughing about. That laugh that's so amazing that i just want to listen.
That laugh.

"Well, in this rainy morning let's eat these muffins and watch a movie shall we?" He says, taking his creation and head to the living room.

I stay in the kitchen, remembering what happened. That fight that changed everything. There's so much to know about Dan. It was only that day that i knew he has problems with his dad. But I don't have a clue why he's here. I know he wants to talk. That's all he wants to do. Maybe not today, maybe not yet.

I walk to the living room and everything is prepared. The TV switched on and the food are on the table. Muffins, pop corn, cool drink and they're there making themselves comfortable. Becca has her barbie blanket over her and Dan has a brown soft blanket that he brought. I could tell, because it wasn't ours. My mom would not like that because it didn't fit the house. The colour, the texture and everything.
